Hello, I was hoping I could get some guidance on how to get bfgminer working on my machine. Here are my specs: OS X 10.10.5 AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB GPU 3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5 CPU I think I have CPU Miner working, I'm getting hash rates for each thread in the output terminal. Though it always displays "0 KH" and "Stating..." in the GUI

solo mining with gpu

wowow — Tue, 06 Feb 2018 00:15:59 +0000

Hello, sorry if my question is naive, but I want to know if it's possible to solo mine bitcoin using macminer?(ie without joining any pool). If so what settings should I put in?

please help

I just want to try my luck for a few minutes (I know it's dumb but I just want to try).

Disable onboard GPU

hugh198 — Wed, 24 Jan 2018 18:09:56 +0000

Hi, how can I disable one of my GPUs from mining? My GTX 970 is working well, but I'd like to disable my onboard GPU, which comes under device list as GPU1. Thank you.

BFGMiner asking for Device?

mhcrepeau — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 17:57:33 +0000

I'm at the beginning of setting up and I'm getting this message:

"Enter "auto", "all", or a serial port to probe for mining devices.
Prefix by a driver name and colon to only probe a specific driver.
For example: erupter:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART
Enter target:"

When I type "auto" I get

(no devices)
[Plus] Add device(s) [Enter] Close device manager
No new devices found

I'm not sure how to write the address for my device or how to identify my device. I'm using a MBP - MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)

Thank you

No New Devices Found

cbigham90 — Sun, 07 Jan 2018 19:07:47 +0000

I am a noob at mining, so any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I was able to download BFGMiner and follow all of the README suggestions. I am connected to Slushpool and my S7 is on and flashing green. I enter auto to probe for new devices and the following lines pop up: OCL 0, CPU 0, CPU 1, CPU 2, and CPU 3 all with different hash rates, but nowhere near what I would expect to see from an S7. My worker name appeared under my Slushpool account, but it does not have any hash rate data, which is weird because my S7 has been continually flashing green. I am using a Mac 10.13.2 as my interface and I have it and the S7 plugged into an ethernet switch, which is then plugged into my router. Do I need to probe for my specific S7 and if so, what would the command line look like?

BFG Miner Installation Issues

cbigham90 — Sat, 06 Jan 2018 22:01:53 +0000

I downloaded the zipped bfgminer folder for my MAC 10.13.2 and I moved the application to my Applications folder. I followed the included instructions, but when I open Terminal and type cd/Applications/bfgminer-5-mac/bfgminer/bin, I get the following message: -bash: cd/Applications/bfgminer-5-mac/bfgminer/bin: No such file or directory. I am really new to mining, so I am not sure how to solve this. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

GPU Miner MacPro Error-30

danielbo — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 08:06:21 +0000

Hi Panda (and others of course!!)!

I started using the GPU-Miner on my MacPro (6,1 , 12Core, 64 GB, OS 10.12.6) but i only receive the following error-log.
CPU-Miner is running well.
Beside of the internal Dual D700s i use a NVIDIA TITAN Xp (12GB, latest NVIDA-Drivers) in an external TB-Enclosure.
Would be nice to get all 3 GPUs running to crunch some numbers...

Thanks for your help and happy mining !!
Daniel

bfgminer for mac

edb — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 14:10:57 +0000

hi there

first im new to all this and find it hard to get something working lol now i just downloaded bfgminer for mac and use Yosemite on it.

the download is no problem after that i put it in my application map and open the terminal as said in the instructions.

it start and stopt and say this Library not loaded: @executable_path/../../jansson/lib/libjansson.4.dylib

Referenced from: /Applications/bfgminer-4.10-mac/bfgminer/bin/./bfgminer

Reason: Incompatible library version: bfgminer requires version 10.0.0 or later, but libjansson.4.dylib provides version 9.0.0

so what next im lost again ;)

Hi everyone, I've just got myself temporarily banned from the pool by sending too many invalid somethings... Would be really grateful if anyone can work out which setting I'm missing from the command line above. Thanks!

ralph_l — Fri, 04 Apr 2014 13:30:16 +0000

hello

i have just got my grid seed 5chip.

i have tried macminer first but i get only 13,45kh/s, somebody know what's the problem?

now i'm trying with bfgminer (3.10), bfgminer gives me the error "no devices found".

do i need to install some drivers?

You try to open it in terminal and it says permission not allowed.

Why doesn't the API Output window show my devices when running bfgminer?

Why doesn't the API Output window show my devices when running bfgminer?

bfgminer is running with the correct hash rate.
3xASIC block erupters and a GPU.

Different Overclock settings for different Antminers?

Agateman — Sun, 19 Jan 2014 14:33:52 +0000

Hello,

I am wondering if I can set different over clock settings for each Antminer U1 I have installed? I have one miner that produces lots of hardware errors at the 0981 setting, but the other two do not, so I'd like to run them fast. You may have already answered this somewhere, just too noob to see it!

Thanks for MacMiner — Best miner out there!!

bfgminer updated to 3.10

FabulousPanda — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 13:53:41 +0000

The bfgminer version available at http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/commandline/ has been updated to 3.10

New in this version:

Support for AntMiner U1, Drillbit, and HashFast devices.
Option --weighed-stats to display share-count columns (A/R) weighed to difficulty 1.
x6500: maxclock setting (use with --set-device) to limit dynamic clocking range.
opencl/adl: Fixed crash on exit with R9 series GPUs.

bfgminer 3.9 updated for antminer overclocking

FabulousPanda — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 00:40:19 +0000

The versions of bgminer 3.9 in MacMiner and available here:

http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/commandline/

have been updated to allow over clocking of antminer ASICs. To over-clock, open FPGA/ASIC window miner settings panel and put

--set-device antminer:freq=0781

in the manual flags text field, where 0781 is the default frequency, try replacing with 0881 or 0981 to increase your hash rate but make sure to cool your miners well!
